Already one of the region’s largest independent electronics and appliance retailers, Glenview-based Abt will soon be getting even bigger.

According to a Crain’s Chicago Business blogger, the company will begin working with major home security brands like GE and Honeywell offering security services to customers throughout Illinois and Wisconsin.

Plus, the 100,000-square-foot retail space is heading for expansion with the addition of a second-floor mattress and bedding accessories showroom. Scheduled for completion in mid-July, the new mattress selection will feature high-end brands including Tempur-pedic and Swedish-made Carpe Diem.

Open for more than 75 years, Abt remains one of Glenview's largest employers with more than 1,000 team members supporting the company's 'Pleasing People...Since 1936' slogan.
